Three men convicted in a scheme to stage accidents to file false insurance claims have been sentenced to prison terms of three to nearly 10 years.

George Orlando Ortiz, Jr., 33, received nine and a half years for staging car crashes, false insurance claims and fraud. Both Freddie Alberto Freytes, 43, sentenced to six years, and Noylan Barreto, 21, sentenced to three years, were convicted of similar charges.

The men were arrested after a 2012 investigation into a series of accidents in Duval County. They were recruiters for a group that staged crashes then sent the participants to clinics that were part of the scheme. The clinics charged insurance companies at least $150,000 in false claims linked to the three men.

About 20 individuals were arrested in the case. Another man, David Rodriguez Lopez, a ringleader of the group, was convicted and sentenced last year to 15 years in prison.
